Provide a French education with enhanced English language instruction. The primary school is accredited by the Ministry of National Education and contracted with the Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE); instruction follows the French national programs while aligning with British requirements through strong English teaching at all levels. The national core knowledge and skills framework is taught, focused on five domains: languages for thinking and communication; methods and tools for learning; formation of the person and the citizen; natural and technical systems; representations of the world and human activity. Programs are organized by cycles: Cycle 1 (PS–MS–GS) for early learning; Cycle 2 (CP–CE1–CE2) for fundamental learning; Cycle 3 (CM1–CM2) for consolidation; the 6ème of secondary education (6ème) is part of Cycle 3 to ease transition to secondary education. English has a privileged place: 4.5–5.5 hours per week from nursery; phonics taught from CP to CE2; English reading and writing from CE1; by CM1 students can write to persuade and inform; some sciences are taught in English; many bilingual projects and activities in English complement the regular curriculum, including in PE and other subjects. The school aims to prepare students for secondary education in French and English after CM2 and works with the AEFE inspector in London to ensure curriculum conformity.

Physical and emotional well-being is a priority at École Jacques Prévert. The PSHE curriculum provides children with essential information about themselves and the diverse world around them, supporting self-esteem, emotional well-being, and resilience to form and maintain positive relationships. It emphasizes respect for universal rights of the child, as articulated in the UNCRC, and encourages understanding across cultures. PSHE is taught through weekly sessions using resources from Kapow and the PSHE Association, along with materials from St John's Ambulance and NSPCC, and sits alongside the EMC within the French curriculum, led by class teachers and the Designated Safeguarding Lead who know the pupils well. PSHE objectives are integrated with other subjects and reinforced through assemblies, enrichment days, and school events, linking to British Values and promoting honesty, empathy, and respectful, responsible behavior. The pastoral team, including the DSL, supports pupils' mental and emotional development and fosters a safe, inclusive climate.

In the French system, EBEP stands for Elèves à Besoins Éducatifs Particuliers. There is a dedicated EBEP teacher who follows EBEP students, supports families, and is the main point of contact (refEBEP@ecoleprevert.org.uk). The EBEP referent identifies and follows students with needs (such as learning difficulties, DYS, giftedness, or disability) and coordinates assessments and support plans (PAI, PAP, PPRE, PPS or other accommodations). They collaborate with teachers to adapt teaching practices, maintain open communication with families, and organize meetings to adjust supports. They facilitate access to professionals (speech therapists, psychologists, neuropsychologists, etc.) and liaise with local services (Borough EHC plans) and with French institutions (MDPH, AEFE) to secure appropriate assistance, ensuring coherence between French arrangements and local regulation. The EBEP role centers on inclusion and the well-being of all students; if integration becomes distressing, the EBEP lead can help families find a more suitable provision.

English instruction complements the strong French education with high standards in English. The program provides an excellent English curriculum with a balanced focus on poetry, formal letters, narrative writing, and persuasive writing. Phonics is taught systematically from CP to CE2; in CP, Story Time Phonics teaches reading and writing, and sciences and language concepts are taught in English alongside French teaching colleagues. From CE1 to CE2, students study using Read, Write, Inc, and geography and sciences are taught with French teachers to support a bilingual program; in CM1 and CM2, pupils write for persuasion and information, using figurative devices such as metaphors. All children listen to and read a wide range of texts, with ability-based grouping from CP onward to tailor learning, and home learning to consolidate progress. Many students join the international section of Lycée Français Charles-de-Gaulle, while a large number enter the British section in secondary; the anglophone department is led by Elisabeth Lowery (Head of English) and Claire Weber (DSL for protection, climate, and PSHE).

Mental well-being is a core aspect of PSHE at the school. The curriculum aims to develop knowledge, self-esteem, emotional well-being, and resilience to help pupils lead happy, healthy lives now and in the future. It includes a strong focus on emotional regulation, with Zones of Regulation used in Early Years to support emotional management. PSHE objectives are embedded across the curriculum and reinforced through assemblies, enrichment days, and school events. The school emphasizes supportive relationships and a climate that fosters emotional development, with a dedicated pastoral framework and DSL to oversee safeguarding and well-being.

Safety is everyone's concern at the school; every pupil has the right to live without fear of violence. The safeguarding policy defines how parents, staff, and school leaders respond to concerns about a child. Claire Weber is the Designated Safeguarding Lead, and Bleuenn Morvan is the Deputy Safeguarding Lead and headteacher. If a child is worried, contact the safeguarding team at 020 7602 6871.
